A MOTORIST has been taken to hospital after ploughing their Kia car into a lamppost just metres from a McDonald's restaurant.
The Roads Policing Unit for Surrey Police shared a snap of the smashed-up 4×4 outside the fast-food chain in Camberley this afternoon (April 10).
The orange car can be seen on the pavement, wrapped around the post, surrounded by dirt and debris with extensive front-end damage.
Police have asked diners who filmed the incident to delete footage as the driver received medical treatment from the South East Coast Ambulance Service.
